More hype and plain silliness

Show me a straight G50 coupe pls for £40k! The Dick Lovett G50 sold for approaching £75k with close to 60k miles - nice enough car. The Hexagon G50 with 25k miles is £90k.

This G50 car at gmund is only £30k, a bargain? Are they "tweed" seats?

That does look quite nice.

Attractive colour, G50 Coupe, 5-figure mileage, full history, respected seller.....if it really is in first class condition, then could be a very good buy. I even like the period 'berber' trim

[P50]

I saw that car.

It does seem good value. Puzzled why it's not sold?

Has anyone viewed it? Has it been welded or is it original?

£40k for a LHD 964 C2 Tiptronic? Have they added an extra £20k for the rare colour?

What about this beauty.

I have never understood it when people say never taken out in wet. Okay so they might not have ever taken it out when its wet but I bet they have driven home when its wet..

Does that mean no cleaning of the car too?

Owned one
The most over rated 911 ever.

I doubt that's true, although I personally prefer the narrow-body 993s.

I think a lot of the love for the 993S is down to its gorgeous looks. I think its one of the prettiest of all 911 models, perhaps top 5.

The narrow body is a better drive but beauty can help you overlook such trivialities...

looks nice but so dependent on condition and jobs that need doing which may be numerous

The £16k 944

I know one that sold for £20k last spring. The owner is very happy with it, and feels it was excellent value for money.

They were 20k ultra low mile minters. Can't compare to the car above however nice it is.

The £16k 944

Its certainly worth over 10k, but 16? If its rot free, has good tyres and brakes etc etc then it could add up.

[thegreenhell]

Needs new number plates though.

Thought that was the 930 you once owned and hated?

Just under £40k for a 46k mile 964 C2 Tiptronic is probably a little optimistic but LHD opens up a much bigger market so who knows!

4Star are a great example of a dealer who have created their own niche and pushed prices up in that sector. They saw a gap in the market for 90's cars, priced them at a premium and presented them beautifully online. I remember looking at their site in 2010 and thinking the prices were punch but what a great idea at that price point.

This is interesting though. We recently spoke to a dealer who couldn't make up their mind whether to bring one of these into the UK. Worth £224,995?

These seem to be up in Europe for around 200k Euro and $250-300k in the states so probably not far out in this market.

I may be mistaken, but it could have sworn that they had that mfi car up for £125k a month or so ago
